Garibaldi and the London Press. TO THE ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS, APRIL 26. I cannot leave Engl and without offering a public homage to the power of the British press, and a special tribute of gratitude to all those journals which were the sincere mid faithful organs of public opinion towards me, and t'le benevolent interpreters of my admiration and feelings towards the nation who gave me hospitality. I send, therefore, a hoarty greeting to all the representatives of the press. To the editor of The Sun. G. GARIBALDI. Illustrious cities, highly reputed corporations, re— 1 presentative bodies from every class of citizens, ha . ve honoured me with countless addresses, to which e n y heart would have desired, but time is wanting me to answer worthily. I hone, nevertheless, to be allowed to fulfil in p a re my debt, by this special farewell of affection and gratitude to all. On this occasion I cannot, however, speak of my self alone, because I must not interpret the many e loquent and r generous words that have been ad dressed to me as a mere personal honour—which is of little importance beside the greatness of the cause for which in these days the heart of the Eng lish people and mine have throbbed in unison— but as a fresh proof of that sympathizing solicitude that the richest, the most prosperous, and the freest nation in the world nourishes towards another na tion,which has been twice recognised as the mother of civilisation, and has through martyrdom, through persevering struggles, carried on with daring and with wisdom, become worthy of reassuming her place in the world, and proclaiming, I am risen. For this reason I believe I can reveal the thought of Italy to England, as I believe I may hold up England as an example and a hope to Italy. The two nations are already sisters ; they may speak together in sincerity and confidence. In England the institutions of the Co entry, the respect for the laws, all that prodigious contexture of autonomous and yet organised forces,of order true and lawful, not vulgar or violent, combined with absolute individual freedom, freedom of conscience, freedom of domicile, freedom of the press, of speech, and of association ; the right of national defence, not the privilege of a special body, but recognised to all ; an army bright in glory, yet untainted with that disease of modern times known under the sini ster name of militarism; the rifle volunteers, Eng land's pride and my dream, the strength, the deco rum, the activity, the perseverance—the persever ance, above all, by which when once a position or an institution is conquered retreat is never known—all these things which form the admiration of civilised peoples from afar and excite an intense desire to emulate, I would almost say to envy on a nearer view, may and should be proposed as an example to Italy. For myself it was impossible to spend a few days in this land without doing homage to these ma❑y truths, and still more without freely recording them to my fallow-countrymen, not so much in testimony of the deep impression England has left on my own mind as for a lesson and incitement to them. To the English peoplo I have nothing to recall which they do not know. They know what Italy desires. Italy has made up her mind to exist ; she has the right to do so, and if any should doubt it, I would adll that she already exists in fact, and that nothing will prevent her completing herself. Italy desires but to break the yoke of the two adverse powers that oppress her, and, let the world hear it, she can never rest until she shall have accomplished this aim, which is for her a question of life or death. The English people—who would rather disappear under their ocean than allow the sacred soil of their eenotry to be violated by the foreigner—will com prehend how legitimate arc the aspirations and how immovable the resolves of my country. England huows that in disinterestedly co-operat- ing in favour of the destinies of Italy in 1860 she contributed to further order and peace in Europ:— that peace and that order which alone are durable and beneficent, because founded on jusice and on progress. England will, I am convinced, be ever more and more confirmed in this view—that if it is for Italy to show herself strong and really to be strong and independent of servile alliances, in order to induce confidence from her true friends (among whom the first place is due to England), England herself will see in how much the alliance of ayonng, civilizad, and free nation like Italy is preferable to the heterogeneous and insecure conr.ubium with despotic Powers. Yet I cannot hope, I say it with grief, that Italy will be able to accomplish her des . tiny without again encountering the direful proof of arms. England's voice is listened to, and re spent:A ; she is in a great degree arbitress of the fate of Europe, but let her be fully persuaded that she can never solve the Italian question, cr that of the other nationalities, by any contrivance of com pensations and diplomatic emchanges. But, in face of the great principle of the solidarity of peoples, proclaimed and sanctioned by universal conscience, I cannot speak of Italy alone, still less at a time 'when the omen and promise of this true holy alliance has been irrevocably confirmed, when lately I pressed the hands of proscribed men from every part of Europe. On quitting this hospitable shore I can no longer conceal the secret wish of my heart in recommend- ing the cause of oppressed peoples to the most gene rous and sagacious of nations. Since their arising is certain and their triumph fated, England will know how to spread over them the powerful shield of her name, and to sustain them, if need be, with her strong arm. England knows that she will not be alone in this great mission. Across the Straits there lives another gigantic people that has been ofttimes im pelled by the arts of despotism to be the rival and the enemy of this country, but which freedom will be the means of turning into peaceful competitor and friend. Freedom! this is the sun that would fructify the sincere and formidable alliance of the two peoples —of civilization against savagery —and by which, without unsheathing the sword, the great work of the peace of the world would be installed. G. GARIBALDI. Pengaite-park, Cornwall, April 26. General Garibaldi left Penquite, with his son Ricciotti and suite, at about 8.30 yesterday morn ing; the party proceeding, in company with their host (Colonel Peard) and family, in carriages to Fowey, where they arrived at 9 o'clock. At that I port an address to the General had been prepared, but owing to its having been rumoured the previous evening . that he might embark in the night, the address had been sent on board the Undine, and through the weather having set in rainy, the read ing of the address was dispensed with. The town was gaily decorated for the reception of the General, appropriate mottoes amidst flags and evergreens bein g displayed across the streets. The churzh bells litao rang out merry peals, and notwithste.nding the e a/iy hour at which he arrived, a large number of the inhabitants of the town and surrounding neigh bourhood lined the streets to see him pass, testify ing as the carria g es rolled alo ng th e i r h i gh appre ciation of his worth by the warmth of their cheers and cordial greetings. The embarkation took place at the Litt'pg by her Majesty and Prince Albert on their embarkation from Fowey in 1846, and adjoining the h andsome granite obelisk erect e d b y the tawnsP2oP‘e in memory of that event. Crowds around the steps. Am ong of persons congregated those present were the lord of the manor of the town, th© Rev. E. J.Trefiry, njor Davis, Com mander Brine, R.N ., inspecting commander of the ccastguard for that , dtstn e t ; D r. Davis, D r . R owe , Signcr Guarria, Vice-Consul Lowry, and several other gentlemen of tae town and riEighbourhood. A g large circle of ladies were also present,includin Mrs and the Misses Treffry. Along the I ) whway f rom the General's carriage to the steps a band of young ladies strewed flowers before him, and at the step s he shook hands with several of the ladies and gentlem en pee. sent, desiring them to receive his beet thank s for their courtesies towards him. The member s of the London and provincial press present were introduced by Treffry, and to them the General expressed his thanks to and esteem for the free press of England. The General and suite proceeded on beard the Duke of Sutherland's yael.t Undine, lying in the harb..)ur, in one of the yacht's boats, and Colonel Peard and a party of gentlemen accompanied him alongside the yacht in Commander Brine's gig. At parting, the General desired Colonel Peard to express to his countrymen how highly he felt his reception in England, and to tell them that the impression made upon him would never be effaced. To the Coast guardmen who manned Captain Brine's gig he kindly ref erred, expressing his admiration of the British r.lavy; and the last adieux of the General were vivas for England. The Undine got under wei,gh at 9.30, and steamed down the harbour, a sal.nte being fired in honour of the General from the Fowey battery by a company of the local Volunteer Artilery. On clearing the harbour, the Undine set her staysails, and proceeded with a fair wind heading for Ushant. She is expected to pass through the Straits of Gibraltar in about six days. PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Night. The Undine had bad weather in the Channel. She rolled violently when off Falmouth, and was obliged to bear up and run into St. Ma wes in the after.. noon. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood held a meeting for presenting an address to General Garibaldi ; but on inquiring on board the yacht the time which would be convenient for its presentation, they were told that the General was anxious to proceed on his voyage, and that the yacht would leave on Thursday morning at daylight. GARIBALDI AT PENQUITE. (From the Western lforning News.) Soon after 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning the domain of Penquite became the focus of attraction to persons anxious to see Garibaldi. They came flocking towards it from all directions, and in all sorts of vehicles; and not only the villages immediately contiguous, but some of the adjoining towns, appeared almost drained of inhabitants. At St. Austell,on Monday, the shops, with barely an exception, were shut, and high holiday was kept. A similar spirit, though not to the same extent, prevailed on Tuesday in that and other towns. The result was that in the latter part of the afternoon several thousands of persons must have been congregated at Penquite. General Garibaldi, being much fatigued by his journey, did not rise on Tuesday morning until after eleven o'clock. Great desire was expressed by numbers of people to obtain admission to the house and immediately contiguous grounds at even an earlier hour, but the entrances were strictly guarded by the police. The General, however, took the earliest opportunity of satisfying the public wishes, and drove out shortly before one o'clock in a landau, accompanied by Colonel and Mrs. Peard, He proceeded through Ty wardreath to Par at an easy pace, and everywhere received the most en thusiastic greetings. Large numbers of people gathered at all the prominent points on the line of route, and amongst those at Ty wardreath was a deputation from Helston. By the train reaching Par at 12.5, there arrived the representatives of the in• h kbitants of Plymouth and Devonport, with their respective addresses for presentation. Numerous visitors of distinction who had been invited by Colonel Peard to meet his gallant guest likewise arrived at intervals during the afternoon. About half-past two a cheer faintly perceptible in the dis tance, but growing in intensity every moment, told that the General was on his return and near at hand, and in a few minutes the carriage dashed up, and Garibaldi alighted amid the stentorian hurrahs of the large concourse gathered round the door. On entering the hall he bowed his acknowledgments to the party there assembled, and having leaned as if tired for a minute or two agaiust a side table, pro ceeded upstairs to prepare himself after his drive for the reception of the deputations, who mean% hile assembled in the library. In about a quarter of an hour the General descended the stair case, in doing which the effect of his wound was made painfully apparent, as he walked, although assisted by a stick, with considerable lameness, Entering the library he took up his position at the head of the room, looking the very impersonation of manly dignity. He was dressed in his usual grey cloak, the end of which was flung gracefully over his shoulder, displaying its red lining. The depu tations were singularly fortunate. Few of the public in England can have seen Garibaldi at such great advantage, or had such an opportunity of contem plating with admiration his grandly massive fea tures, with their quiet, steadfast, noble expression, At his right hand stood Col. Peard—not for the first time his right hand man—who acted as master of the ceremonies, introducing each deputation as it came up to the General in Italian. The members of the various deputations were presented to the General, and enjoyed the honour of shaking hands with him. Some ladies of Plymouth who were present availed themselves of the same privilege. Several of the gentlemen held some conversation with the General, and the Rev. Erskine Risk ad dressed him in Italian, expressing the pleasure he felt at seeing him in England. The General, evi dently pleased at hearing his own language, replied also in Italian—" I cannot express the gratitude I feel at the reception in England." Mr Risk added "We hope you will return; " to which the General answered " I hope that I may visit England again." One of the ladies present on being introduced attempted to kiss his hand, when the General drew it back with a most unmistakeable expression of displeasure. Mr. Woollcombe expressed a hope that the General did not suffer any ill effects from the fatiguing journey which he unde:took the pre vious day, when he cheerfully replied that he felt quite recovered. His appearance certainly showed a marked improvement from that of the previous night, but there was still an evidence of weariness about his countenance which was not surprising after the exertions to which he had been subjected. At 6 o'cicck a dinner was given to the General and a large number of guests, when the characteristic hospitality of Col. Peard and of Cornwall received another illustration. The party was joined in the evening by Garibdidi's son Menotti, who came down by a late train, and was met by theGeneralon arrival. The Police and the Primrose-hill Meeting, DEPUTATION TO SIR GEORGE GREY. Yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, the joint deputations from the City and Working Men's Garibaldi Committees waited upon Sir George-Grey at the ITome-office, for the purpose of bringing under his notice the conduct of the police in suppressing the Garibaldi public meeting on Prim rose-hill on Saturday evening last, and to ascertain upon what conditions, if any, the public were allowed to hold open air meetings. Messrs. Beales, T. A. Nicholay, Wainright, and J. R. Taylor attended from the city, and Messrs. Hart well, Hornsby, Medlard, Applegarth, Snaw, Petherbridge, and Connolly from the Working Men's Committee. Mr, BEALES said the deputations were desirous, in the first place, to lay before the Home Secretary the unjustifiable and unconstitutional Interference of the police, accompanied by many acts of personal violence, with an orderly meeting of the people; in the second place, to know whether such interference with the constitutional rights of the people was or was not sanctioned by the Home Secretary ; and in. "th e third place to ascertain what guarantee existed that other peaceable and legally-constituted meetings might not also be interfered with by the police as caprice reisl i t move them. He then detailed the part he had taken chairman, and said he was quit e co 1 " . .! . c the meeting a s it s svinced that if he had not desisted from speaking when or.!ered to do so by th e i nspec t or, he would have used perso;zial violence. Indeed he said as much ; for although it might bo quite true that the inspector who came up to him was accompanied only by two con stables, these was a large body of police in the background, ready to, act on a signal from the inspector. He thought the interference wholly unwarrantable, and involving a prin ciple dangerous to public liberty. He was prepared to say that had it not been for the admirable conduct of the com mittee and the people the results might have been most serious, as the conduct of the police was marked by a degree of unnecessary 'violence calculated to provoke resistance and create a riot. He was not satisfied with the explanation given in the House of Commons, which had e . idently been made upon false and imperfect !statements. He wished for an explicit statement from the Home Se cretary by what right the meeting in question was sup pressed. Sir GEORGE GREY said he had but little to add to what he had stated in Parliament. No orders respecting the meeting had been given either by himself or Sir R. Mayne ; but he had no doubt the police had aeted in pursuance of their general instructions to prevent all assemblages in the shape of meetings in the parks as an interference with the recreation of the people. This order had been issued con sequent upon the disturbances in Hyde -park some two years back. He was not there to argue the questi la of the right of the people to meet in the parks; if the deputation disputed the right of the authorities to enforce the prohi bition in question, they well knew how the question might be brought to an issue. Primrose -hill was considered one of the parks, and no meeting could be held on it without the consent of Mr, Cera - Ter, the Commissioner of Woods ME SUI', LONDON, THURSDA Y EVENIN G, APRIL 2g, 1864' and Forests, under whose control the parks were placed. That permission had been given for the Shakspere Cele bration, and under all the circumstances, as there had been already one large meeting, he frankly confessed he regretted the police had not allowed the meeting in question to pro ceed, which he had no doubt, from what he had heard, would have passed off in the most peaceable way. He had been told there was no violence either on the part of the police or the people, and this was the first time he had heard of any violence on the part cf the police. If any per sons present had been assaulted by the police they could summon them before a magistrate for the offence. Mr. BEALES—Then, supposing the committee call another meeting at the same place on Saturday next, would it also be stopped by the police on the ground of Primrose-hill being a park ? Sir G. GREY—The police, under the instructions I have alluded to, would have the power of stopping the meeting, unless the consent of Mr Cowper to hold the meeting had previously been obtained. Mr BEILES—Then those orders, the legality of which I dispute, virtually prohibit all open-air meetings of the people unless sanctioned by the Government, which is, I contend, a most dangerous principle, and one subversive of the con stitutional right of Englishmen. To hold a meeting in the open air the people of London must go into the country—to Blackheath, or Hampstead-heath, and even there only by the sufferance of the police. Sir G. GREY—I cannot argue the question of right. It must be settled by an action at law. Messrs. Nicholay, Taylor, Applegarth, and Medlard having confirmed the statement cf the chairman as to the violence of the police, Mr HARTWELL said that at the very time the police in terfered with the Garibaldi meeting there were temperance preachers, " Cheap Jacks," " Aunt Sallys," and gambling all over the hill, all surrounded by several hundred people. They were left unnoticed by the police, who said they in terfered with the Garibaldi meeting held on the crest of the hill because it interrupted the highway, whereas if any such interruption could have possibly taken place on the hill, it must have arisen from the other assemblages he had alluded to. Under the present police law, which he hoped was not to be taken as legal, any public meeting in the open air could be suppressed at the caprice of a petty officer of police. Mr SHAW, as one of the persons violently attacked and assaulted by the police, the numbers of whom he knew, said he should act on the. suggestion of the hon. baronet and take out a summons. Sir GEORGE GREY could only repeat his regret that the meeting had not been allowed to proceed. He had full con fidence in the love of order among the working classes. The deputation then retired. Working Men's Garibaldi Committee, A general meeting of this committee was held last night, at the Whittington Club, to receive the report of the depu tation appointed to wait upon Sir George Grey in relation to the suppression of the meeting on Saturday last on Primrose-hill. There was a very full attendance. Mr. Nieass (plasterer) occupied the chair. The Secretary reported the result of the interview of the deputation with Sir G. Grey, who had made nearly the same statement to them as he had made in the House of Commons. Neither he nor Sir It Mayne had given any special instructions to the police regarding the meeting, which had been suppressed by that body under their ge neral orders relating to meetings in the Park, Sir G Grey had declined to discuss the legality of those orders with the deputation, who, if they wished, must take an opportunity of deciding the point by a legal action. He thought this explanation of Sir George Grey only made matters worse. It would be bad enough to have their meetings suppreseed by the Home Secretary or the Police Commissioner; but, at any rate, there was a certain amount of responsibility attached to those gentlemen. It now appeared that the liberty of public meetings in the open air, so much prized by Englishmen, depended simply upon the caprice of some petty police officer. (Hear.) He hoped Sir George Grey's suggestion would be acted upon, and the legality of Sir B. Mayne's ukase tested. Considerable discussion followed, the prevailing opinion being that another meeting should be held upon Primrose hill on Saturday week, when, if the police again interfered, sufficient resistance should be made by the chairman or some members of the committee to warrant the police taking them into custody, in order that the question might come fairly before a court of law as to whether the orders of Sir Mayno were justified by an Act of Parliament. With this understanding the following resolutfon was agreed to unanimously, on the motion of Mr. Howell, bricklayer, seconded by Mr. Osborne, plasterer :—" That this commit tee is of opinion that the adjourned Garibaldi meeting should be held at an early date, and that at such meeting the legality of the interference of the police with orderly open-air public meetings in the parks or elsewhere be tested; that a sub-committee of 12 be appointed to confer with the city sub-committee, with full power to convene such meet ing, which shall be held, no positive Act of Parliament existing to the contrary, on Primrose-hill, on Saturday evening week, at 6 o'clock. The sub-committee having been appointed, the committee adjourned. Subscriptions in aid of the expenses to be in curred in testing Sir R. Mayne's order,and protesting against police interference with the liberty of public meeting, are invited to be sent in to the treasurers of the Garibaldi Re ception Committee, Naval and Military Intelligence, -~- THE NAVY.

On Tuesday the 9th Lancers passed through Liverpool on their way to Dublin. Stratford-on-Avon Tercentenary Festival, STRATFORD-ON-AVON, Wednesday Evening. Last night the series of theatrical amusements commenced, and the aspect of the interior of the Pavilion was completely changed. During the per formance of the Messiah," on Monday, the appear. ante of the building was nearly the same as during the banquet, chairs being substituted for tables. The principal singers occupied the site of the pre sident's table, the band replaced the newspaper reporters and the boys of the choir, and the portion of the upper gallery at the back, com prising three sides of the dodecagon, was filled by the chorus. The tenants of the chairs in the arena or pit, which is the place of honour, like the stalls of an ordinary theatre, sat therefore with their backs to the stage, which was directly oppo site to the orchestra. Last night the orchestra had been removed and the chairs ell turned round, so that the front of the house on Tuesday was yester day the back. The visitors of the Festival had now ample op portunity to admire the beautiful drop curtain, painted and presented by Mr. Telbin. It is after the model of the drop scene at the Princess's, of which, however, it is not a copy. The centre is oc cupied by tho well-known statue of Shakspere, with a view of Stratford Church in the background. This is supposed to stand in a vestibule, which is hung with a rich crimson drapery, studded all over with the initial letter '° S," save where there are two medallions respectively containing the figures of the Tragic and Comic Muse. The heavy colour of the drapery is relieved by two curtains of white satin, looped up at the topmast corner of the pic ture. To this drop-scene the proscenium forms a massive frame, too large allegorical figures, repre sentiug " Genius" and' Immortality," standing on each side. Were I writing for London playgoers only I should consider I had rendered myself sufficiently intelligible if I simply stated that " Twelfth Night" was performed by the Haymarket company with Haymarket scenery, and was followed by " My Aunt's Advice (one of the innumerable versions of "Livre I.,"Chapitre III."), with Mr. Sothern in the principal character. Since, however, for the pre sent week, Stratford, not London, is the theatrical capital of England, and the Warwickshire public has not got Haymarket usages at its fingers'• ends, it is as well to give the official programme entire : "In the evening, at seven o'clock, will be represented, by the company of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, Shakspere's comedy of " Twelfth Night ; or, What you Will:" Orsino (Duke of Illyria.. ..

The performance thus announced was honoured by the immediate patronage of Lord Carlisle, who aat in the centre of the front row of the arena, with Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Leigh, Sir Robert Hamilton, and other distinguished visitors already mentioned in the report of Saturday's banquet, ranged on each side of him. The audience was more numerous than at either of the concerts. This was expected, since to a large agricultural popu lation resident in the vicinity of Stratford a play acted in anything approaching the London manner, and illustrated by London scenery, such as is painted now, must be a wonderful exhi. bition; The Birmingham Theatre, it is true, holds a high rank among provincial establishments, and there is a theatre at Leamington ; but Birmingham is sufficiently distant to leave Stratford a public of its own, and the Leamington house, I am informed, is not greatly patronised. Moreover, the magnifi cent Pavilion is in itself well worth seeing. The play was well selected, for it not only suits the Haymarket company, but it has recently been decorated with beautiful scenes iilustrating the Illyrian country, in which the action nominally takes place, and therefore widely different from the conventional pictures ordinarily used in provincial theatres. The costumes are partially of the modern Greek kind; those of Sebastian and Viola (once dressed as a conventional page) being more conspi ilian the rest. All these scenes and dresses cuous - -70 to the Pavilion by Mr, Buck- were brong,... . c" d u . .4.„-its of a country town and stone, and by theinhant.- - nerformance might the rural district around it the r Ye pictures. really be enjoyed as a series of remarks... c Londoners, provided every year with a stock of :en sation scenes, and violently stimulated by astound ing " effects," can scarcely imagine the impression which a piece perfectly put upon the stage pro duces on the inhabitants of an agricultural town. Mr, Buckstone was received with especial favour. During ail the preparations for the Festival he has 'teen most energe;ic and judicious, as E 4 sort of theatrical couttseller to the committee, and it is by following his advice that some of the most serious obstacles have been surmounted. This fact was well known to the chief of last night's audience. More ever, the excellent comedian did not wholly rely on his reputation as a Shaksperean philanthropist. He played Sir Andrew Aguecheek with fun even more than usually exuberant, making a compound of sot, zany, and pOltroon that caused the wooden walls of the Pavilion to reverberate with laughter. Mr. Compton, who played the Clown with admira ble quaintness, was another leading favourite, being known here not only through his Landon celebrity but through a high reputation at Birmingham. Malvolio was played with thoroughly sustained for mality by Mr. Chippendale, and was apparently a more thankful part than it is usually found in Lon don, the practical joke of the " cross garters" being immensely relished by the audience. Mr. Rogers as the bluff besotted Sir Toby, and Mr. W. Farren as the mischief-loving Fabian, were likewise excellent, and nothing could go off with greater spirit than the more broadly comic scene of the play—the duel between Sir Andrew and Viola awakening a special shout of mirth. Miss Louisa Angel, who played Viola, was an object of general admiration, bath on account of her personal appearance and her sensible inobtrusive style of acting ; and the celebrated lines, "She never told her love, ke.," which had been sung with Haydn's music the evening before, was duly marked out by applause. Mr. Howe performed the Duke with his wonted urbane dignity, and in the new building had an opportunity of proving the ex cellent quality of his voice. It is not too much to say that his words, though uttered without effort, were more distinct to the ear than those of any other performer. The character of Captain Howard Leslil,su stain ed by Mr. Sothern in the afterpiece, is the first that he essayed in London after establishing himself as Lord Dundreary. It seems to exhibit him as an excellent light comedian, and his coolness at the beginning and his mock rhodomantade at the end greatly delighted the Stratford audience. This evening, to-morrow, and Friday he will play Lord Dundreary at Birmingham, and will then re• turn to London to appear at the Haymarket on Saturday in a new piece entitled "David Garrick." Miss Nelly Moore, known in London as a rising young actress, distinguished herself greatly by the spirit with which she played the self-willed and not very scrupulous Mrs. Arundel. This afternoon there was a dramatic recital in the regular Stratford Theatre by Mrs. Macready, a lady from the United States, whoa few years back made a favourable impression as a reader without book, who by freedom of action and variation of voice gives an almost histrionic representation of the playa she recites. The audience, who nearly filled the little theatre, now called the Shakspere Rooms, seemed well gratified by the entertainment. The house it self, which stands on the site of the garden of New place, and of which such high expectations were raised in 1827, is of itself worth a visit. It is very small and low pitched, with two tiers of boxes—one on the level of the pit, the other, though raised to no great elevation, nearly reaching the ceiling. Here were performed the plays that constituted a portion of the entertainments of the Festival of 1830, when Mr. Charles Kean was the principal actor, and was generally looked upon as a rising young man, At present it is in anything but working condition, as is amply proved by its deficiency in one detail, generally considered necessary to theatrical repre sentation—viz., the stage. With the two concerts on Monday, and with the excursion to Charlecote, and the plays of yesterday, I have been so occupied as to neglect the collec tion of works of art associated with Shakspere which is exhibited all the week at the Town-hall, and which when the value of many of the works is known, will doubtless prove as attractive as any thing connected with the Festival. The core poration itself possesses an invaluable treasure in the full-length portrait of Garrick embracing a bust of Shakspere, painted by Gainsborough. Then there is a large assortment of Shakaperean portraits of various degrees of authentieity, among them the so-called " Jansen" (with two othars, not at all like it, attributed to the same artist), the "Lumley," the " Stratford," the " Droeshart." a lithograph of the " Felton," and a drawing of the " aandos." To these may be added a copy of the "Kesselstadt cast," which is now in the custody of Professor Owen, and which is believed by some to be the mask taken from the poet's face after death for the sculptor of his bust. The discussion as to the authorities in favour of these different portraits forms a branch of erudition in itself; but those who would skim pleasantly through the subject I may refer to a small handsomely illustrated book on the " Life Portraits of Shakspere," written by Mr. J. H. Friswell, who, however, does not touch the "Lumley." The "Stratford" and the copy of the "Felton" now exhibited at the Town-hall, both belong to the Shakspere Museum, to which they were given by Mr. W. Oakley Hunt, the present town clerk, who is highly respected as one of the best Shakeperian antiquaries in this little Shak sperian world. "Of the "Kesselstadt cast" an ex cellent photograph has been taken by Mr. Nottage, of the London Stereoscopic Society. The picture owners have been very liberal in their contributions to this exhibition. Her Majesty has sent Sir T. Lawrence's well-known portrait of J. P. Kemble as Hamlet, to which Sir Joshua's Mrs. Sid dons as the Tragic Muse is a worthy pendant. Har lowe's great picture of the Kemble family engaged in the trial of Queen Katherine is likewise here, with three admirable works by Zoffany, lent by Lord Carlisle—viz., the portraits of Foote as Major Sturgeon, and of Garrick as Abel Drugger, and a curious painting of three actors, supposed to represent characters in Sir John Vanbrugh's comedy, " Asop." Among the likenesses of living artists is an admirable drawing of Miss Helen Faucit by Burton, lent by Mr. Theodore Martin. The pictures are nearly 300 in number, comprising a quantity of ideal works in addition to those of historical interest. Mr. Court ney, a carver of the town, has contributed to the " - ibition a "tercentenary table," a marvellous , workmanship, in which six views, illustra piece of are inlaid in curiously col oure d tin g Shakepe, 7 3's life, woods.

When first the two magnineZnt islands not appropriately called the Britain of the South came under the regular dominion of this country as members of the British colonial empire, every desire was manifested to do absolute justice between the Maories, often, but inapproptintely, termed " aborigines," and the invading race of European settlers. Exeter Hall and the Aborigines Protection Society had it all their own way in those times with the Colonial-office, which latter was influenced to put itself upon conscience with the natives, to deal by them not merely in accordance with certain abstract principles of justice, but with certain developments of the abstraction, the result of civilisation at home, and fixed government of long duration. Herein lay the error—the prin ciples constituting the basis of legislation wore tree and good enough, but the special application of those who have exaggerated the very evils they were intended to obviate. Hopes were held out to the Maories, and promises were made, both clearly incompatible with the relations which must needs subsist between themselves and the colonial popu lation—hopes and promises that have resulted in a chronic feud which, if not composed once and for all, must lead to utter destruction of a very inte resting race of people now barely amounting to 50,000 souls. In taking a review of New Zealand matters, from the stand-point of the doctrinaires who instigated the Treaty of Waitangi, it is well to understand and bear in mind, once for all, that the Maories are no more the aborigines of New Zealand than are the English and other Europeans now settled there. In support of this come not only their own traditions, but ethnological points of similarity not to be mistaken. According to their own records the Maories came from Hawai in canoes about three hundred years ago; and although the voyage seems long for that mode of navigation, yet, when the absence of storms in the Pacific is considered, and when, viewing the map of the world, cognisance is taken of the islands and islets, well-nigh innumerable, that stud the ocean like stepping-stones across a fording-place, the Maori tradition of their own exodus is in no way improbable. It followe, then, that the Maories can lay no claim to land title by prescriptive right of occupation ab ortqlne, which postulate once con ceded, the whole basis of assumption on which the Treaty of Waitangi was established disintegrates like a foundation of sand, and the whole super structure fills tottering. Perhaps it may not be inexpedient here to indicate that the treaty to which we have made reference is, in the annals of New Zealand colonial history, comparable for importance to what the Magna Charta is in the chronicles of England. Its main characteristic was the affirma tion of a principle deduced from considerations of abstract justice—the principle that lordship of the soil, proprietorship of the land, should be recognised as vested in the natives. As a corollary it was de creed that no land should be taken up, cultivated, or otherwise appropriated, save under the condition of voluntary sale by the rightful owner. Stripped of all unnecessary mystification, and put in plain language, such was the main principle affirmed by the Treaty of Waitangi ; and it needs no deep acquaintance with juridical science to see that a stipulation of this sort could only take effect har moniously and satisfactorily under the condition of the existence of a distinct land tenure well attested, consecrated, so to speak, by time; recognised as land tenure in England is recognised, and capable of kin.. placed in evidence whenever need should arise, bY , what, for shortness sake, we may term a Maori court of registration. Now, unfortunately for the harmonious operation of the Waitangi Treaty, the relationship of the Maori tribes to the land of their islands was one of pretence and pretence only. They were not an agricultural people —they were not even pastoral. Farther to simplify the case, they were not even a hunting people ; and all this conceded, it is difficult to understand how even—granting, for the sake of argument, the aboriginal claim—the Maories could be held constructively as lords of the soil, according to any European jurisprudential notions. Admitting, however, the theoretical propriety of the application of principles laid down by the Treaty of Waitangi, the futility of attempting to carry them into effect will, be made manifest by consideration of some very strange pretensions which rule amongst the Maories in reference to their land claims. One of the strangest amoaigat these is what they call their Law of Blood, the n e tare of which will be best set forth by an illustration which we have on the au thority of a New Zealand blue-book. In one of these publications it is recordarl that a Maori, en tering a domicile belonging to a nother individual, struck his head against the door-post, so that the skin was broken and blood flowed. l'..hereupon the visitor advanced a claim to proprietors,sip of the house as having been the means of causjng his blood to flow; and in the blue-book wherei,l we perused this statement testimony is made to :he fact that such pretension was wholly accordant a very ancient lex non scripts of the Maories. If, instead of a door-post, the visitor had fallen and broken his head on the ground, then the whole estate would have been constructively his; and thus it is easy to see that, even without further cause of embarrassment, this curious and fantastical blood law would necessarily prevent any harmonious working of conveyancing laws, the result of our long-established government and more perfect civi lisation. For our part we see no hardship in the policy of abrogating the Treaty of Waitangi, but a real mercy to the natives. We should be well con tent to see the whole length and breadth of the two New Zealand islands vested in the Colonial Go- vernment, and redistributed according to the special justice of each individual case. This done, there would be what there never yet has been in New Zealand—a safe and guaranteed title to land pos session ; and if a plea for action be deemed indis pensable, surely there is a very material one in the argument perfectly well recognised in civilised polity—that war abrogates treaties ; that, when once the sword has been drawn, relations begin de novo. HERALD.—The corporation of Dublin has consti tuted itself the champion of Irish tenant right, and the Lord Mayor of that city has, in full civic state, presented a monster petition, said to be signed by over 400,000 persons, at the bar of the Commons, ; praying for legislation on this most important sub ject. The petition has been of course got up after the usual fashion, each individual, young and old, affixing his signature on issuing from the chapel doors, where either the priest or some influential agitator stands pen in hand to witness and urge on the proceedings. Thus we have the urban popula tion bearing testimony to the " ills they know not of," and the rural peasantry, naturally enough, praying for some measure which would make them virtually owners of the soil. We cannot but think that the corporation of Dublin would have been better employed in reducing the rates paid by the inhabitants of that city than in squandering the , funds intrusted to their guardianship in bootless and expensive visits to Landon. Their last state ex pedition, including the cost of their victory over Edinburgh, entailed an expenditure of nearly £lOOO, and no doubt the present appearance of the Dublin functionaries at the bar of the:house will be attended with an outlay proportionate to their ideas of their own dignity. There are many gentlemen of their party in the Commons who could, and would, wil lingly have presented this petition, without expense to the ratepayers of Dublin. If the corporators suppose that their presence will give additional w. -ight to its prayer, we beg to assure them that they . corm a very exaggerated opinion of their own se. The debate in the Dublin Common Cimporta, he adoption of this petition, most for. Counci n l, on truth of the old adage, " That the cibly verifies the to his last." We believe that s. cobbler should sties s of the very few members the territorial possessio: excitable boa'? are of the most infi connected with land, of that very either as occupiers or owners, . nitesimal proportions, and the ps:nciPal speaker on the occasion (Mr. Dillon) frankly admitted that, personally, he knew nothing of the nianagement of estates or tenantry, his only object being to obtain some measure which would render the people comfortable and keep them at home. What that measure should be, save that it must include remuneration for outlay, he did not indicate. Now Mr. Dillon must have been ignorant of the fact, that there is already in existence an act of Parlia ment, called Cardwell's Act, from having been in• traduced and passed by that gentleman when Seers tary for Ireland, by which an annuity of 7~ per cent. for 25 years is secured to the tenant on all out lay for the profitable improvement of his farm. If such liberal terms of remuneration will not encou rage the Irish tenant to industry we should be glad to know what more may be expected? We can easily believe that Mr. Dillon was ignorant of this act when speaking; for it has become quite a dead letter, and is no doubt altogether forgotten, not one Irish tenant having taken advantage of its pro visions. Were the same advantages accorded to the English tenant the results would have been very different. Mr. Dillon has been singularly unfortu nate in his reference to the French tenantry. Before he hazarded assertions which tell altogether against his views he should have made himself acquainted with the terms and tenures on which land is held in France. It is tree that the French peasantry are in very large numbers proprietors of small portions of the soil, but they are also almost invariably renters of far more considerable farms than those they hold in fee; and if Mr. Dillon or his friends wish to in troduce the French laws and customs regulating the possession of land into Ireland, sure we are that ma.................,.. the Irish Irish proprietors will not object. The longest lease ever g:Panted in France is for seven years; the. usual tenures for three, six, or nine; both p arties having a recip recta right to terminate the tenancy by giving six m oaths' notice at the end of either term. lt is . tr ue the landlord keeps the home" stoat:. in repair, but as there are neither gates nor fe,nees in the agricultural districts of France windows, fireplaces, little, while the tenant paY 5 thi s Corti him but taxes ondoors, gates, front w hi c h the L-Ish tenant is wholly exempt.

If, after 14 days o.n t grace acco:ded by law, the rent should still remai due, the landlord proce eds to the premises with a, policeman, the tenant anti his family are tu rned out, the furniture and si ock are sold by auction, Oa if any surplus remains it is handed to the tenant' and all further connec..tion between the pa rties ceases. Such a thing k's an abatement in case °I bad crops is unknown— and it must be said, to the credit of the French farm err, that evict ion is seldom had recourse to. The I 'tench tenant is periectlY aware that his farm, on tb e expiration of his t enre ! , will be let to the highest bi dder , yet in the teeth e ot short tenures, high rents, and strict landlords, b thrives and becomes a propt i etor , sma ll though his acquisition may be, solely by his industry.
